Hi.. I got my Sparco Sprint Seat instaklled a few months ago... but always wondered if it is normal for the seat to be more to the left than the stock?
only drivers seat is installed, and the "shoulder" part touches the door, made the one part of the seat flat and a small dent in the door padding.
:confused:
 
You should be able to adjust the seat right to left. On my Sparco seats and Sparco bases I believe I adjusted it right and left. My passenger seat butterfly touches the door panel, but my driver seat butterfly doesnt. If I recall correctly since I installed my passenger seat first, I noticed it was touching the door. So when I installed the driver seat I adjusted the seat base so it was away from the door panel more.
 
hmm.. my base is just about 4 pieces of solid steel... nothignt o adjust with... and the sliders only go forward and back....
but i guess i am getting the opposite of you (your passanger seta touches where my drivers seat does)
 
So let me get this right you have the seat base, the tab brackets, and the sliders. I believe the point I adjusted was closer to the seat and sliders then the floor and base. But this was all 1.5 years ago. I'll try to look at my seats tomorrow.

I also have this problem on my Corbeau A4s...

I made custom brackets, so it could just be my own mistake, but what Im going to do is just drill out the hole more so i can shimmy it over 1/4 or 1/2 of an inch, that that big of a deal;)

That would be your own mistake. ;)

But yes, my seats were adjustable from left to right when I mounted the base on them. Because I obviously corrected my mistake when I installed the driver seat. Just take your whole seat assembly back out and take a look at it.
